In my spare time, I listen to music (I have a large CD and vinyl record library). I walk, and I work out at the gym.

Feel free to visit The Night Shift's Facebook page for lots of album covers and other cool stuff as a companion to the show.

English vs Modern English in NJ
You might say...that we have our own way of saying things here in New Jersey.

Old TV series and game shows are being remade.
Vinyl record sales are on the rise. New, and used, vinyl.

It makes us smile...it makes us feel good.
And that is before we get to toys...

Fruit Squares dessert
Here's an easy dessert that will be a favorite with your family, too.
Back in the '90s, at the radio station in Philadelphia, from time to time we'd have a staff lunch, where everyone would bring something. Once, I made these "fruit squares...
